I'm honestly curious why Garisson is painting Putin as wanting peace talks and as a dove. I'm pretty sure the only "peace talks" during the war were Putin going "This war will end when Ukraine is part of Russia."

Same reason that Hitler was "Europe's greatest humanitarian" to Nazi sympathizers the minute he went from domination to making GBS threads in a bucket in his bunker. If he was winning he'd be strong powerful Putin over the weak woke gay West, because he's failing massively it's because he's just too peaceful for the degenerate barbarians.

Putin has requested peace talks which are pretty much "ok stop fighting back and let me keep the parts of Ukraine I've already conquered"

He's proposed peace talks saying he's willing to call it a draw and graciously withdraw, for the low price of letting him annex the territories he originally wanted to take. It's obviously a farce but BenG doesn't give a gently caress what happens to the people of Ukraine, he only cares that US tax dollars aren't spent on foreign aid of any kind.

They're just like a weirdly vivid green, so probably just being like "green with envy" or "green like greenbacks", cus Zelensky has very noticeably brown eyes.

Trapezium Dave posted:Leunig: Kellies Nomination: Laziest Non-Gorrell Sorry for the absence, I was on a school trip abroad. It was nice, but being of charge of 20 teenagers was tiresome. Let's try to catch up with the week's comics from our sources. China Daily Interestingly there was no comics this week so I suspect they're on holiday. Le Monde 3/10 by Meddy from Tanzania 4/10 by Herrmann from Switzerland "But with Bolsonaro, it's the law of the jungle!" "Without the jungle!" 'Duel between Titans' by Rodrigo from Portugal 5/10 by Dilem from Algeria Iran: The Situation remains explosive "As long as it's not a lock of hair." 'Riots' The joke is that the word wick/fuse is the same in French for a lock of hair, and I'm too tired to look for a good pun. 6/10 by Urbs from France Saudi Arabia prepares for the Winter Asian Games "You are to take down that mountain over there and place it on the beach." Charlie Hebdo Energy Saving "Turn off the light!" Italy, throw out your oldest immigrants! Plus Belle La Vie/More Beautiful Life A long running soap opera on public French TV. "Thankfully we still have welfare." Things exist cartoon I guess. The article is on how government is spending less on welfare, but there's a cliché that welfare recipients spend money on TV for trash like this show, which has a convenient phrase for how life could be better I guess?

Gosh, California really should improve their power grid by privatizing it. I’m sure a profit motive and market competition will better incentivize a power grid that is efficient, reliable, and safe. Now to take a big drink of water as I read up on how California manages the power grid.

I know Billie Eilish often does things conservatives don't like, like saying COVID is real and that maybe we should not destroy the planet we all live on, but did she do something special two weeks ago to earn this jab or did Stantis just decide that his do-nothing take-no-positions comic would be enhanced by attacking one of the most popular musicians in the world?

HOW OLD ARE YOU? WHEN WERE YOU BORN? e: actually given she's talking about the generation rather than herself, gen z starts at about 2000 so i guess some people would be conscious for some of the iraq war, and they'd be in their twenties now

I don't usually pay attention to pop culture singers, and I didn't know if she'd done anything special recently, so I looked her up on Wikipedia. Wikipedia said that she performed in the 2022 Glastonbury festival to condemn the overturning of Roe v. Wade. She advocates mental health awareness, and has criticized the animal fur industry. She also endorsed Joe Biden's presidential campaign in 2020. Oh, and she appeared in June 2021 issue of British Vogue dressed in (gasp) lingerie, especially (gasp) corsets. Y'know what's NOT in the Wikipedia article about her? Any reports of criminal behavior (not even a misdemeanor), or any reports of illegal drug use. Way, way too many American celebrities have done bad stuff. She has used her celebrity to champion political and environmental causes she believes in, and has tried to persuade young people (her generation!) to be politically active and vote. This is the person that Stantis has declared to be a terrible representative for Generation Z. The declaration says a lot more about Stantis than about her. I think Stantis' mask is slipping.

Nothing needs to be true for conservatives to whine about it. He's calling the green loser ribbons kids got participation trophies, and implying they had any impact after kids threw them in the trash. Feels like there is a paper to be written about the conservative obsession with high school sports awards that 99.9% of kids have no interaction with beyond seeing them in a glass case at school.

Are the characters written backwards in that strip, I thought the girl was supposed to be the grouchy old man self-insert complaining about pop music and kids these days, and the coyote was supposed to be the dumb liberal kid always falling for the latest fad. It's like the dialog got copy-pasted wrong

Also unlike Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish's music loving rules and she genuinely comes across as someone who would prefer to be less successful than she is The things that Stantis wants us to hate about gen z are a thing inflicted on gen z by their parents and a truly great musician

She also does things like "pausing her entire-rear end concert because someone in the audience appeared to be in distress". More than once. But I guess she became an international megastar while still a fetus and that makes the whole thing bad somehow.

I second Kellies Nomination: Worst Caricature, because seeing Vladimir Putin as a peace-dove makes me want to throw up. Ben Garrison is an apologist for Putin's invasion and war crimes now. "Anti-war" Ben Garrison also doesn't seem to care that Putin is forcibly drafting hundreds of thousands of unwilling soldiers into his hell-war.

Wait, hang on, we're supposed to think the big strong eagle is bad now?quote:Yes, I know the media says Zelensky is a hero. Some have compared him with Winston Churchill. I disagree. As an entertainer with acting and social skills, he spends a lot of his time posing and basking in the media limelight. He constantly campaigns for more money to support his ‘democracy.’ Given the circumstances, this is literally his job. Get the media's attention and sympathy in order to get the desperately needed aid for fending off a genocidal invader. Being the face of Ukraine is how he's helping Ukraine the most, both on the world stage and with his own people. Rich as all hell that Ben would be mad about this, given his devotion to a man who does nothing but grandstand for his own personal ego when he's in front of a camera.

Sinfest Sunday! The Left are vampires now, I guess. Since when is "Bye Felica" a right wing meme? That poo poo is originally from the movie Friday back in 1995, then it was popularized by RuPaul's Drag Race back in 2009. Oh. So that is the year 2022 and the reason she wasn't aging was because she was taking (previously unmentioned until now) youth pills. ....is he ALSO taking youth pills? Do they just stop you from looking older or do they make you immortal? 2022 seems to be in physical pain now that they've worn off, were they going to prevent her from dying? These and others questions will not be answered next week! Stay tuned!
